Code: M2999

Cartographer: Homann

Date: 1720c Nuremburg

Size: 48.5*57 cms

Attractive map of England & Wales by Homann but based on the geography of N. Visscher as credited in cartouche.

The cartouche is decorated with the heraldic shield, unicorn putti, woman playing the harp etc. There is a reference to the anglo saxon kingdoms and the map is colour coordinated to highlight these regions.

The cartouche at the bottom of map shows the monarch presing over one of the houses of Parliament.

Slight and pleasant age toning; map cropped close to top left but not affecting printed surface.
